The exhibition surveys the life and Spanish and Spanish-American work of the sculptor Victorio Macho, a forerunner of contemporary sculpture. It is structured into three sections: the first provides a biographical outline of the artist and an introduction to his work; the second takes a look at the work he produced in Madrid, especially his monuments for the Retiro park; and the third and most important shows the pieces designed and executed in Peru, Puerto Rico, Panama, Colombia and Venezuela.
The show is based on images of Macho’s great monuments – drawings, sketches and replicas (some to scale), together with other sculptures and drawings by the author that give an idea of his characteristic style and of how varied his oeuvre is.
